We
should keep our minds on God and always contemplate on Him in order
to cross the ocean of life. If not, at every stage, there would
be obstacles, failures, humiliations and insults, leading to chaos
in life. For the believers in Baba, no troubles would cause harm.
With minds fixed on Baba, if we move ahead with a feeling that "You
are making me walk, Father", Baba will turn the abysmal ocean
of life into a knee-deep canal and ensures smooth passage by holding
and leading us by His Hand.
Though cursed by poverty, a devotee of Baba, Mhalsapathy's life
never faced any troubles. At the very first encounter, he addressed
Baba as 'Sai' and could as well recognize Baba's Divinity. We commit
blunders with our limited knowledge by ignoring the enormous love
and kindness of Baba. Do we have faith that our victory in every
work is the gift of Baba? Do we show gratitude to Baba for every
success and accept it as Baba's gift? We need to search our souls.
Most of the devotees seek fulfillment of physical desires. Again,
the devotees who would ask "Baba, I seek you, I need Your presence
always, I have no other worldly desires" are very few. On focusing
our mind on Baba, every step that we take will lead us on the path
of devotion and helps us reach Sai, the Guiding Light of our Lives.
